AutoSave Essentials

What Do You Want to Backup?

Have you ever launched a backup program, only to have the application ask you to specifically name the files and folders that you wanted to backup? It's not such an easy question - you've got stuff stashed in every nook and cranny of your hard drive, and you can't be pressured to accurately remember what you would want to keep safe. Photos? Yes. Bank statements? Yes. Bank statements from eight years ago? Maybe not.

Wouldn't it be great if you had an application that just asked you to answer the general query "What do you want to back up?"

AutoSave Essentials has an easy, no-nonsense interface that just does just that - "What do you want to back up?" And to answer that question, all you need to do is just pick from a selection of the most frequently backed up items - videos, sounds and music, pictures and photos, documents and presentations, browser bookmarks, and email messages. If you stopped right there, without exploring AutoSave Essentials any further, you'd have taken care of probably 90% of what most people consider to be valuable data worth backing up. You don't need to know where these files are located on your machine - AutoSave Essentials will go and find them for you, and make them secure!

But AutoSave Essentials also allows you to craft your own custom backup plan - just use the intuitive interface to check off the boxes next to specific directories that you want to secure, or enter in a series of specific file extensions. Imagine creating a custom backup of all of your DLL files, so the next time you have a corrupted file, you can restore it easily and get on with your business! No matter what types of files you choose to back up, AutoSave Essentials has you covered, even if you modify files. It tracks all of your changes, ensuring that your backup copy is always the latest and greatest!

AutoSave Essentials also asks you another important question - "Where do you want to back up?" You can select an external storage device, such as a USB flash drive or external hard drive. Or go off-site, and back up to a network drive or even an FTP server. If you're daring and just want to copy your most cherished files to a different folder on your hard drive, pick local storage. No matter what destination you pick, AutoSave Essentials will take a peek at your backup drive and tell you whether you have enough space to perform the backup - no more wasted time saving to a drive that's full!
